Last season's Ligue 1 top two square off as Paris Saint-Germain head to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to face RC Lens on Sunday.
Paris Saint Germain have been in typically imperious form in recent months, and have hit top gear, winning nine of their last ten league games to open up a five-point gap over Nice at the top of Ligue 1.
After finishing as runners-up last year and just a point behind eventual winners and Sunday's opponents, Lens have struggled to replicate that form this time around.
And while they have propelled themselves from the bottom end of the table to the top half and are once again in contention for European qualification, the hosts went into the break in seventh place, 14 points off leaders PSG.
